  "Ben Wikler is one of the most strategic and respected leaders of his generation. If we do what this book says, we will win." ―Nancy Pelosi 
   
  From one of the most successful Democratic strategists of the last decade, a revelatory account of what you―yes, you―can do to defeat Trumpism. 
   
  This Is the Plan is a hope-unleashing answer for anyone who has looked at the wreckage of American politics and asked: How the hell do we get out of this mess? Ben Wikler, hailed as the "preeminent state party chair" by Nancy Pelosi, led Wisconsin Democrats through a series of hold-your-breath fights against right-wing extremists that resulted, against the odds, in the unrigging of the political system of the most divided―and, until recently, most gerrymandered―state in the nation. Now, he draws on decades of experience in everything from school-board races to presidential elections to bring listeners inside the hidden web of power that shapes our lives. At every step, he shows what individuals and small groups can do to help build a future where democracy thrives and our country works for everyone. With verve, infectious humor, and a rallying-cry energy that has inspired tens of thousands of volunteers, This Is the Plan is the book so many Americans have been waiting for: An idealistic, yet, practical guide to turning the present crisis into a better future.

  A compelling evolutionary narrative that reveals how human civilization follows the same ecological rules that shape all life on Earth 
  Offering a bold new understanding of who we are, where we came from, and where we are going, noted ecologist Mark Bertness argues that human beings and their civilization are the products of the same self-organization, evolutionary adaptation, and natural selection processes that have created all other life on Earth. Bertness follows the evolutionary process from the primordial soup of two billion years ago through today, exploring the ways opposing forces of competition and cooperation have led to current assemblages of people, animals, and plants. 
  Bertness’s thoughtful examination of human history from the perspective of natural history provides new insights about why and how civilization developed as it has and explores how humans, as a species, might have to consciously overrule our evolutionary drivers to survive future challenges.

  Peace As A Science - Towards A...

  What if peace isn’t a moral ideal… 
  but a measurable state of stability? 
    
    
  Peace As A Science reframes peace from aspiration to architecture — not as passivity or the absence of conflict, but as the stabilisation of complexity. 
    
  Drawing on neuroscience, systems theory, biology, physics, and lived human experience, this book explores a radical but grounded idea: 
    
  Peace behaves like a coherent field. 
    
  It can be observed in regulated nervous systems, traced in feedback loops and probability, strengthened through applied principles, and scaled — from the body to relationships, from culture to governance. 
    
  Through a peace lens, we reframe mental health as adaptive intelligence under rupture, neurodivergence as configuration, and justice as restorative rather than revenge — extending from identity through to education, healthcare, media, technology, and war. We move from inner experience to large-scale systems, asking how stability forms, how it breaks, and offering practical tools to repair and build peace. 
    
  It is rigorous, practical, occasionally funny, and deeply human. 
    
  Peace is dimensional and we explore how time travel might not require a machine, but awareness - because peaceful choices shift probability and alter trajectory. And yes, pop culture is part of the laboratory - because sometimes Yoda explains regulation better than a textbook. 
    
    
    
  Because if peace has structure, it can be studied. 
  If it can be studied, it can be practiced. 
  And if it can be practiced, it can be built.

  (BONUS-this audio reading of The Emerald Tablets is accompanied by soothing background sounds of a healing frequency to further promote peaceful immersion into the material) Among the most powerful esoteric works in metaphysics ever recorded, The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean (translated by M. Doreal) reveal a glimpse into the history of advanced Ancient Atlantis: its mechanical and scientific achievements; how it sank deep below the waves of the Atlantic; the founding of the colony that became Egypt...and the construction of its Great Pyramid.  
  The highest significance of these tablets is the keys to the unfoldment of the Heavens, the Earth, and the Divine Soul of Man; layered within its  poetic and mystical language. These Tablets are written so that the words respond to attuned thought waves, releasing the associate mental vibrations of an exhilarating rhythm in the mind of the reader.  
  A casual listen may catch a brief glimmer of the beauty behind its rhythm; but it falls upon the genuine Truth Seekers (those willing to give full attention to its wisdom) to open avenues to its most Profound Wisdom of unrivaled magnificence.

  Until recently, Germany appeared to be a paragon of economic and political success. But recent events – from Germany's dependence on Russian gas to its car industry's delays in the race to electric – have undermined this view.
  In Kaput, Wolfgang Münchau argues that the weaknesses of Germany's economy have, in fact, been brewing for decades. The close connections between the country's industrial and political elite have left Germany technologically behind, over-reliant on authoritarian Russia and China, and with little sign of being able to adapt to the digital realities of the twenty-first century. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of Europe's most important economy.

  Progressive Conservatism - How...

  F. H. Buckley

  The Republican Party must return to its roots as a progressive conservative party that defends the American Dream, the idea that whoever you are you can get ahead and know that your children will have it better than you did. It must show how the Democrats have become the party of inequality and immobility and that they created what structural racism exists through their unjust education, immigration, and job-killing policies.  
  Republicans must seek to drain the swamp by limiting the clout of lobbyists and interest groups. They must also be nationalists, and as American nationalism is defined by the liberal nationalism of our founders, the party must reject the illiberalism of extremists on the Left and Right. As progressives, Republicans must also recognize nationalism’s leftward gravitational force and the way in which it demands that the party serve the common good through policies that protect the less fortunate among our countrymen. Republicans must also be the conservative party that defends our families, the nobility of American ideals, and the founders’ republican virtues.  
  By championing these policies, the Republicans will retain the new voters Trump brought to the GOP as well as those who left the party because of him. And as progressive conservatives, the GOP will become America’s natural governing party.
